5 ticle's of manufacture, V and all 1 places 1 where I the V dispatchingof such things is to bei ca rfried on by pneumatic transmission means.

It has been the =custom1in devices 0f" thls dispatching"inlets andreceiving slioes are "to be terminated and wliere the dispatching inletsand the receivingsh oes are operated-"by j a person on one of the worktable; K ,Inmy new and improved device thegdis patching inlets tiandlreceiving shoes areinstalled upon'thework'table' in singleor"doublebanksand' so'arrange'd-that the operator may dispatch through tothe other side from the cashier. The operator may also receive carriersfrom the receiving shoe located on can have twice the number ofdispatchingin lets within easy reachof the operator and on both sides-0fthe Worktable. In some systerms where they are very busy it may be ad'-visable to install upon the work table some of the dispatching inletsand'receiving shoes in single bank so as not to eondensethe dispatchersand receivers too much;

In my new and improved device, the same is adapted for being manipulatedby a single operator to operate pairs of heads at either side, so that asingle operator may'properly 85 side of the Work table, with equalfacility; The invention consists primarily of bifurcated transmittingand receiving heads which and which terminate centrally of a work table.The heads are'arranged 1n pairs-so that an operator may have easy accessto the heads on either side of the work table.

A counter is provided at either side of the work table with afoot restbeing disposed side thereof.
